It becomes easier and easier as you learn to witness the mechanations of your own mind without resistance or attachment. For example you may have a reaction to someone saying something racist but your real power is in witnessing the thoughts, feelings, ect that come with that.
You may even have that emotional reaction and act in a way that isn't helpful. The power is in witnessing this as well. Many people have a tendency on trying to control their mind, speech, and actions.
This creates resistance or attachment though and keeps mental inertia going. This is where all the Self help gurus get it wrong. You don't break habit energy with resistance or attachment as that just creates feedback loops of thought, speech, and action. It is broken through development of witnessing awareness.
Not many have realized this. Especially the Self help guru types.
